The ECO

ECO - Engineering Change Order. Ah, it's called other things in other places, but it's always the same: The Document That Must Be Approved For Things To Happen.

Well, of course, when Approval is needed and things must Happen, you need an Approval Process and a Review. And a Standard. 'Mustn't forget the Standard. We'll use ISO - the International Standards Organization - because, doncha know?, it's international and it's a standard.

And let's just give our Review a full-fledged Board to make it sound official and have Authority. And an acronym - you've got to have acronyms - something like CCB: Change Control Board.

Now let's all sing:

Let me see your ECO.
Let me see your change.
The CCB will probably say "No,"
But write it anyway.
Who decides, we just don't know -
Submit it just the same.
That's the rule, follow ISO,
It's called the Paper Game.

Chorus:
Check-Mark!
Fill the box!
Complete the form
And pray:
A miracle may happen
They'll approve it
Any Day!

Hey!
